BINDER COMPOSITIONS FOR BONDING PARTICULATE MATERIAL

摘要

A bonded particulate material and a method for forming an bonded particulate material are defined. The material includes a particulate metal oxide that is capable of forming a metalate in the presence of an alkali. The metal oxide particles are typically dissolved in a solution of the alkali and then dried, such that an undissolved metal oxide core remains, surrounded by a metalate which is in turn bonded to metalate of adjacent particle and/or to a fill material.
